That's quite some nice sky, but overall the image is a little bit too dark in the shadows. You got some big black blocks in here which are just too strong visually.

Nice colour in those clouds! I agree with Andreas about the dark areas being a little strong visually. I might also have taken a slightly lower angle and backed up to include all of that foreground rock. By getting a lower angle you might have been able to eliminate some of the blank space in the middle ground which appears a little to vacant right now. This is a nice attempt, I look forward to seeing another version if you can make it back to this location for another try!

It is a beautiful sky. I'll echo what the other two have mentioned. There are a lot of dark areas, and for me a different composition (perhaps at a lower angle to trim down the amount of brightness in the midground) would really play well off the conditions you were given. It does look to be an extremely tough exposure with a large dynamic range as well, perhaps some filters or hdr could bring that range a little closer.

I agree...the blacks are too black. Nice sky however.

I have 5 pictures (1 stop each)

Should I try HDR or blending?

Thank you very much for your comments
